nothing lasts

this is a very great show, a very nice recording plus a flawless version of 'nothing lasts' which was done by special request for Jill Lytle (thank you for requesting that song), I swear he sang it better at this show than when he wrote it in 1991 !

this is probably not the entire show, but this is the setlist of what was aired on WXRT. However, I remain suspicious of this show, as it is identical to the setlist from the FM broadcast of the March 23,2000 show at Park West. I will continue to research this one and post any updates....

this is an acoustic set from Matthew and his band, but I believe that one song was omitted from the webcast, a good guess here, but it may be 'what matters'., Matthew even says in the interview that they played 8 songs, but only 7 got broadcast. It is nice to hear "if time permits" done in an acoustic arrangement.

broadcast on WXRT, a gorgeous acoustic set, the best version of 'trade places' I have ever heard, makes me wish I had been in that bar for St. Patrick's Day....

this is the real WXRT show that was broadcast on June 23, 2000, and has now unfortunately become a bootleg CD titled "Windy City". And it should be said that this recording does blow most of the other recordings of this tour away, it is worth seeking out....
